Man, I gotta say I'm going with GM45 on this one, I really like the look of that.
Certainly not the best thing ever, but it's sleek and the finish is cool if not exactly mind-blowing.

It looks really small, almost FN P-90 sized.

EDIT: Waaaaaait. What about the Hi-Point handguns? Everytime I see one I just... want to go to sleep or something. I tell myself repeatedly nothing is wrong with them, but it's hard to lie through my teeth that much.

Actually the Hi Point guns are supposed to work pretty well considering the price tag, and I find how they're made neat. I like them in concept if not in form.

Also, my vote for the ugliest gun I've ever seen goes to the Evans sporting rifle. Look it up.

American made:

They wanted to replace m16, ended up with epic fail #2

http://world.guns.ru/assault/as78-e.htm

And saying hi points work well for the price isn't saying much, some people will call you a gun snob for bashing them, but you cnat get past questionable reliability (seriously, that many people commenting on "they honored my warranty and customer service is good) there shouldnt be that many returned guns, and ive heard of lots of hi point snot doing well. They shoot about minute of man, but have poor trigers and unconfortable grip. Hi points just suck

That #2 epic fail you mentioned looks like a piss-poor imitation of the German FG 42.
Like it's bulimic cousin or something.

What the shit is wrong with you two?

Also, A thread about ugly guns isn't complete until someone mentions the Enfield EM-2:

Thank god they and the rest of the Commonwealth went with the L1A1.

And what about the Royal fuck ups that were the Airburst Rifles?

Man, were those a waste of billions of dollars. It's reasons like that that I say the military needs to start looking at currently existing platforms if they want to replace the M16/M4 instead of wasting billions on crackpot dead-end schemes like the XM29 and XM8.

Thing about that is, like someone said previously on this forum somewhere, there's really nothing in existence that offers enough of an improvement to warrant the scrapping of millions of up-to-spec M16s and M4s. And the fact that we're involved in two wars just complicates things. Iraq aside, there's no telling how long we'll be in Afghanistan.

At least the XM8 was just a Rifle. Unlike the XM29.

Yeah, that's true.

Maybe HK can sell the XM29 to Skynet?

I wonder why most Experimental Abominations either come from the United States or the Soviet Union or Russia.
